The ims bearings in the 2001-2005 Porsche Boxster would just stop the engine if not replaced. Hello, I bought my 2003 posche Boxster brand new from rector Porsche/Audi dealership of burlingame back in 2003. I recently found out that Porsche had a faulty part in their engine called the ims bearings. The cars that were involved are cars from 2001-2005 Porsche Boxster. There was a lawsuit (eisen vs. Porsche cars North America) that took place and settled before going into trial. People that owned the cars were notified to get their ims bearings fixed through Porsche. I was never notified. I reached out to Porsche cars North America and asked about the lawsuit. The last date to file to get your car fixed was October 15, 2013. They told me that I wasn't even listed in their system as the owner of my Porsche Boxster. So I asked. How could have I filed a claim if I was never notified about it. People's cars would seized from working without any signs of any problems. My car only has 32,480 miles on it. The dealership mechanic suggest's that I get my ims bearings replaced. But it would cost me $3,500. What can I do about this? they won't own up to this and it's their fault for not having my name listed in their system. I showed them my bill of sales from rector and even showed proof of registrations dating back from 2002 - to present day.
